13He made him ride on the heightse of the land

and fed him with the fruit of the fields.

He nourished him with honey from the rock,f

and with oilg from the flinty crag,

14with curds and milk from herd and flock

and with fattened lambs and goats,

with choice rams of Bashanh

and the finest kernels of wheat.i

You drank the foaming blood of the grape.j

15Jeshurunck grew fatl and kicked;

filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.

They abandonedm the God who made them

and rejected the Rockn their Savior.

16They made him jealouso with their foreign gods

and angeredp him with their detestable idols.

17They sacrificedq to false gods,r which are not God—

gods they had not known,s

gods that recently appeared,t

gods your ancestors did not fear.

18You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;

you forgotu the God who gave you birth.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

He made him ride on the high places of the land,

and he ate the produce of the field,

and he suckled him with honey out of the rock,

and oil out of the flinty rock.

Curds from the herd, and milk from the flock,

with fat of lambs,

rams of Bashan and goats,

with the very finest of the wheat—

and you drank foaming wine made from the blood of the grape.

“But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked;

you grew fat, stout, and sleek;

then he forsook God who made him

and scoffed at the Rock of his salvation.

They stirred him to jealousy with strange gods;

with abominations they provoked him to anger.

They sacrificed to demons that were not God,

to gods they had never known,

to new gods that had come recently,

whom your fathers had never dreaded.

You were unmindful of the Rock that bore you,

and you forgot the God who gave you birth.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

He made him ride on the heights of the land

and eat the produce of the field.

He nourished him with honey from the rock

and oil from flinty rock,

curds from the herd and milk from the flock,

with the fat of lambs,

rams from Bashan, and goats,

with the choicest grains of wheat;

you drank wine from the finest grapes.

Then Jeshurun became fat and rebelled—

you became fat, bloated, and gorged.

He abandoned the God who made him

and scorned the Rock of his salvation.

They provoked his jealousy with different gods;

they enraged him with detestable practices.

They sacrificed to demons, not God,

to gods they had not known,

new gods that had just arrived,

which your ancestors did not fear.

You ignored the Rock who gave you birth;

you forgot the God who gave birth to you.

NLTNew Living Translation

He let them ride over the highlands

and feast on the crops of the fields.

He nourished them with honey from the rock

and olive oil from the stony ground.

He fed them yogurt from the herd

and milk from the flock,

together with the fat of lambs.

He gave them choice rams from Bashan, and goats,

together with the choicest wheat.

You drank the finest wine,

made from the juice of grapes.

“But Israel soon became fat and unruly;

the people grew heavy, plump, and stuffed!

Then they abandoned the God who had made them;

they made light of the Rock of their salvation.

They stirred up his jealousy by worshiping foreign gods;

they provoked his fury with detestable deeds.

They offered sacrifices to demons, which are not God,

to gods they had not known before,

to new gods only recently arrived,

to gods their ancestors had never feared.

You neglected the Rock who had fathered you;

you forgot the God who had given you birth.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And he set him on the high places of the land,

and he fed him the crops of the field,

and he nursed him with honey from crags,

and with oil from flinty rock,

With curds from the herd,

and with milk from the flock,

with the fat of young rams,

and rams, the offspring of Bashan,

and with goats along with the finest kernels of wheat,

and from the blood of grapes you drank fermented wine.

And Jeshurun grew fat, and he kicked;

you grew fat, you bloated, and you became obstinate;

and he abandoned God, his maker,

and he scoffed at the rock of his salvation.

They made him jealous with strange gods;

with detestable things they provoked him.

They sacrificed to the demons, not God,

to gods whom they had not known,

new gods who came from recent times;

their ancestors had not known them.

The rock who bore you, you neglected,

and you forgot God, the one giving you birth.

KJV 1900King James Version

He made him ride on the high places of the earth,

That he might eat the increase of the fields;

And he made him to suck honey out of the rock,

And oil out of the flinty rock;

Butter of kine, and milk of sheep,

With fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan,

And goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat;

And thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked:

Thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness;

Then he forsook God which made him,

And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods,

With abominations provoked they him to anger.

They sacrificed unto devils, not to God;

To gods whom they knew not,

To new gods that came newly up,

Whom your fathers feared not.

Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,

And hast forgotten God that formed thee.
